Even on a normal day I don’t really like talking about politics. But I really, really hate talking about politics on election day. Unfortunately, that’s about all that anyone wants to discuss. And its almost all you’ll hear about on the blogs, radio, and cable news for the next twenty-four hours.
But there are more pressing matters we should be concerned about than whether our next batch of corruptocrats will have an R or a D after their name on the C-Span2 chiron. We have concerns about serious issues—child labor and violence and disease and people touching monkeys. While other bloggers will be encouraging you to vote, I want to encourage you to spend time thinking about what’s wrong with the world today. And to implore you to stop touching monkeys.
